My thanks to Peace by Piece Quilters
for these photos of their quilts.
They have been busy!
I love this quilt! Take a look
at what a wee bit of common fabric can do for the quilt!
My hat is off to these gals from Peace
by Piece!
In January, 2007, I made a resolution
to make one string block a day for the entire year.
On August 12, 2007, I completed that
resolution.
The above picture shows the 30
completed quilts.
Here are some numbers for you to
consider:
365 blocks
30 quilts + 5 blocks to grow on
57 spools of thread
1,460 squares
Average of 5 pieces of fabric per
square
7,300 pieces of fabric for quilt
center panel
A total of 7,480 pieces of fabric
including the borders.
In July, 2008, these quilts found a home at Camp Hoodia,
a camp for Juvenile Diabetes here in Idaho.
Marian in North Dakota sent me this picture of their string quilt.
She tells me seven people worked on this quilt for their Bible Camp
Auction.
This quilt raised almost $400.

and things that don't match.
I think this quilt fits that
description to a "T".
